On the one hand, I think this is great that four guys were able to pull this
off and to show just how silly excessive security really is. On the other
hand, this is downright scary that four guys were able to pull this off at a
Level One National Security Event. On the gripping hand, I hope the guys
don't end up at Guantanamo Bay for pointing out the [DELETED-Emperor's-
DELETED] President's new security detail.
